Standard addition

Early aortic valve replacement for asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

The optimal timing of intervention in asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis remains debated. Treatment benefits varied according to clinical and hemodynamic profiles: greater baseline valve severity was associated with larger therapeutic effects, whereas increasing comorbidity burden (such as diabetes) tended to result in inferior clinical outcomes.
